Best By

i fear that our fruit has started to mold and rot.

the expiration date has passed, but we are both too proud

to admit that the bruised flesh and the furry spores

are no longer to our liking.

maturation brings out the fragrant notes

but when i consume too much,

the swelled bellies of decomposing berries burst, splattering red across my mouth

and making me sick.

sometimes the best way to tell if a fruit has surpassed its prime

is by squeezing it

to see if it gives or stays firm.
